Thanks for the quick answer!

Have you updated your master gnulib directory?
The one you pointed to via ./bootstrap --gnulib-srcdir=...
Once you do that, coreutils' bootstrap should get past the above.

As HACKING and README-hacking suggest, I started once with

   git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/coreutils

but left out the optional step

   export GNULIB_SRCDIR=/path/to/gnulib

so it cloned gnulib into coreutils/gnulib.
Then I continued with

   cd coreutils
   ./bootstrap
   git submodule foreach git pull origin master
   ...

I thought this would be sufficient. I'm a bit confused about
stacked git repositories (used to work with ClearCase for many
years). Is there a way out?

If you do this,

   (cd gnulib&&  git checkout master&&  git pull)

Then ./bootstrap should "make check" should pass that test.

thanks, that worked.
